There are three main categories of joints. They are immovable, slightly movable, and freely movable. Immovable would be joints that are sutured together such as your cranial bones. Slightly movable involves the disc of cartilage between two bones such as your intervertebral discs. Freely moving includes many different ways of meeting up. This includes ball and socket (shoulder and hip), hinge (elbow and knee), pivot (first two vertebrae in spinal column), saddle (thumb), gliding (wrists), and condyloid (knuckles and jaw).
